Hello from the other side of Denmark Hill.


I was recently asked if I would make postcards of the attached, which was originally a Christmas Card from 2019.


Slightly sweary, but clearly hitting a chord with many for some reason.


I'm also looking for similar graffiti around Dulwich and Herne Hill or anywhere in south London really so if anyone knows anywhere that may be suitable, please get in touch either by leaving a message or email me at [email protected].


By the way I am now selling these online at ?5/pack of 10.

If anyone would like some you can order them from the link above, where you can also see a better picture of the cards.


The first print run has almost sold out but I have more on order.



Thanks all.


Tom.

I loved the old school political graffiti, much sadly lost. Whatever happened to Slade on a wall by the Oval, supplemented by whatever happened to Terry Waite. The wall was demolished when they built a new stand at the ground. And not far away in Loughborough Junction. "Let's flip Thatcher in 1989". Got pressure washed off about ten years later. Should have been listed. Sadly no images on line. Here's some others (PS Clapton is not God, he's (allegedly) a racist). https://londonist.com/2015/01/10-london-graffiti-slogans-from-the-last-50-years


A nearby fave was by Horniman Gardens where someone had graffiti'd I'd like to X@!** your mother. The profanity had been amended to 'help your mother'. Nice one.

I remember being fascinated by the 'George Davis is Innocent' graffiti across London when I first learned to read in the 1970s. Back to present times, and there's a surreal bit of graffiti where someone has added 'to my b***s' to a 'No entry' sign on Acre Lane in Brixton which my children find hilarious.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
